Large original antique drawing depicting the decor of a 19th-century French state salon, with a wide-rimmed pitch pine frame from the same period. The drawing is generous, in charcoal, and very detailed for a richly decorated circular room, perhaps a reception or performance room at the Paris Opera. The drawing is unsigned but bears the stamp of an auction house that is difficult to decipher. This is a testament to the interior decoration of salons of the time, for which people prepared, wore their finest attire, and where careers and reputations were at stake. Dimensions. Frame: 68/49cm. Drawing: 46/32cm. Weight: 1kg.
